Construction Loans Gold Coast

At Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, we specialise in securing construction loans tailored for those building their dream home. Whether you’re embarking on a new build or a renovation, our seasoned brokers simplify the complexities of home construction loans on the Gold Coast. By partnering with a diverse range of lenders, we ensure you get the best deal for your specific project, making the entire process smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

How Construction Loans Work

Construction loans are designed to fund your home construction project in stages, paying out funds as work progresses. Unlike standard home loans, these loans are disbursed in instalments, known as progress payments, aligned with the completion of specific building milestones. During the construction period, you typically make interest-only repayments on the amount drawn down. Once the construction is complete, the loan usually reverts to a principal and interest repayment structure, similar to a regular home loan.

Navigating Construction Loan Interest Rates

Interest rates for construction loans can vary based on the lender, loan product, and your credit profile. We compare variable interest rates from multiple lenders to secure the most competitive loan options for your construction project. You’ll pay interest only on the money drawn down at each stage, helping you manage costs effectively. Our brokers guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you understand the terms and conditions and find the right construction loan for your financial goals.

Ways to Finance Your Construction

There are two main ways to finance your construction project on the Gold Coast:

Option 1: Land Purchase and Independent Builder

If you’re looking to build your dream home from scratch, you can purchase a block of land and hire an independent builder. This option allows you to design your home exactly as you envision. You’ll need a land loan to buy the land and a construction loan to finance the building process. The loan amount is released in stages, known as progress payments, as construction milestones are completed. This method provides flexibility but requires detailed planning and coordination with your builder.

Option 2: House & Land Package

A house and land package simplifies the financing process by combining the purchase of the land and the construction of the home into a single loan. This option is ideal if you’re looking for a stress-free way to build your new home. The builder typically offers pre-designed homes, making the building process quicker and more straightforward. With this option, the valuation and loan application are streamlined, and you make progress payments at each stage of the build, similar to the land purchase and independent builder option.

We make the process stress-free by handling the paperwork and keeping you informed every step of the way. During this stage, you’ll also learn about the payment schedule and how you’ll pay interest on the money drawn at each construction milestone.

Step 4

Ongoing Support

After your loan is approved, our support continues throughout the construction process. We assist with managing progress payments, ensuring funds are released at each stage of construction. Our goal is to help make your dreams of building a house a reality, providing guidance and support until your completed house and land are ready for you to move in.

The Zanda Wealth team is brilliant - offering a service that consistently goes above and beyond my expectations. This is the second home that my family has purchased with the assistance of the experienced folks at Zanda Wealth...and I honestly can't imagine buying a property without them. Not only have they been able to consistently secure my family an amazing home loan rate, but the level of personalised support offered is unmatched - patiently holding our hands as we have navigated through every last step of the home buying process. I recommend their services without hesitation!

Zanda is the only place I go for all mortgage and property investment related advice. Austin has been helping me since 2011 when we first bought our first home. He always thinks the long term and gives us the best advice as clients. He is simply the best!

This is the second time Austin and the Zanda team have arranged finance for us and both experiences have been equally as great. Austin is very knowledgeable, gives well researched advice and has a great way of explaining technical things in a way that anyone can understand. Zanda secured a new mortgage for us quickly and at an excellent rate lower than our existing mortgage. Lea managed all of the administration prior to settlement with friendly, responsive communication and nothing was too hard. I have recommended Zanda to several friends and will continue to do so.
